Pharmacy bottle (one of a pair)

Italian, Deruta

Not on view

The Latin mottos "Virtue always burns" and "Virtue has no value if one has no faith" may relate to the bottles’ owner, whose coat of arms appears between the inscriptions. Prominent labels indicate that the vessels (see also 02.5.59) once held extracts of wood bettony and maidenhair fern.
